Watch as an Osprey Steals a Fish from Fishing Guides on the Lower Sacramento River

As the crew of the Kennedy Brothers fly fishing guide service was fishing from a boat on the Lower Sacramento River a bird swooped in to steal their catch. The video is remarkable.

As the crew of the Kennedy Brothers fly fishing guide service was fishing from a boat on the Lower Sacramento River, they noticed someone lurking in the trees watching them. As they had a fish on the line, they were savvy enough to whip out their phone and grab a video of the bird swooping in and stealing their catch.

They posted the video on Facebook:



What an unbelievable encounter from a selfish osprey! I mean, who steals someone else’s catch?!

It’s funny when you can hear one of the guides say “break it off!” He did not want his client to have to fight that determined osprey for the fish. I’ve never seen that before!
